WESTFIELD - A Holyoke man was sentenced Wednesday after police said he chased a woman in his car, then smashed her car up with a crowbar.

Jose Rodriguez, 26, pleaded guilty in Westfield District Court to negligent operation of a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, malicious damage to a motor vehicle, malicious destruction of property over $250 and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. He also pleaded guilty to violating an abuse prevention order.

Judge Philip Contant sentenced Rodriguez to one year of probation with $300 restitution and a $250 head injury assessment fee.

According to the police report, on Nov. 21, 2013, Rodriguez and a woman were at a Holyoke bar. After a verbal altercation, the woman left the bar and headed to Westfield while Rodriguez was in the bathroom.

Rodriguez tracked the woman down in his car and chased her down East Mountain Road, pulling in front of her and slamming on his brakes or backing up so she had to back up to prevent Rodriguez's vehicle ramming hers, the report said.

The car chase then left the road and went through two yards before the woman had to stop because she was boxed in. Rodriguez got out of his car with a crowbar and smashed the woman's windshield, driver door and rear window while yelling at her, the report said. The woman had to shield herself from broken glass and the possibility of the crowbar hitting her.

Rodriguez then left the scene, the report said, leaving tire rut damage in the yard.
